September 11

Remember.

Remember with a moment of silence. A moment of silence that resonates with the silence in the skies when the planes were grounded and with the silence of horror.

Remember.

Remember with gratitude. Gratitude for the first responders and ordinary people who surged in to help, and hope that we would do the same.

Remember.

Remember with awe. Awe at the courage of the people on Flight 93, who faced their mortal peril with determination to act.

Remember.

Remember with sorrow. Sorrow for all the loved ones of all those murdered that day.

Remember.

Remember with dismay. Dismay at the wrenching waste of so much ability and potential and humanity of all those murdered that day by a force of inexplicable destruction.

Remember.

Remember with determination. Determination that the day, the people, the loss, the lessons will not be forgotten.

Remember.
